This layer represents the portion of the Mano River basin within Liberia. This data was collated to support the “Mano River Ecosystem Conservation and International Water Resources Management (IWRM) Project”, which is implemented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It targets the conservation and sustainable use of the transboundary water basins and their biodiversity resources within the Mano River Union member states. These resources are of highest importance for the sub-region, seriously affected by socio-political problems with displaced and suffering populations, and demand support under these very difficult contexts. The project seeks to promote holistic approaches to integrated ecosystem management and to design participatory and community–based strategies, which will lead to in-situ conservation and sustainable use of soil, water and biota in the river basins and on their watersheds.
